FULL SYNOPSIS: Weeks after her most recent break-up, Chelsea stops by her longterm on-and-off again ex-boyfriend Adam’s place to drop off a few remaining belongings. The couple quickly falls back into their usual routine after exchanging a few nice words and a warm hug. What feels comfortable at first soon deteriorates into the familiar territory of petty arguments and unresolved issues, eventually leading them to ask: why are we still here? STILL HERE - Electronic Press Kit FILMMAKER STATEMENT I was in a long-term relationship that ended… and then kept going. It was a very chaotic and confusing time; making the decision to fully cut ties is never an easy one. I originally wrote the piece as a way find the humor and absurdities in those dark, painful moments, while also trying to convey the overall feeling of conflict and uncertainty that seemed to cloud every decision I made (or didn’t make). After showing the script to a few friends, I began to realize that so many others had gone through similar struggles, unsure of how to navigate a deteriorating relationship. My hope with Still Here is to provide a comedic take on relationships that feels both authentic and relatable, while perhaps offering some shred of comfort to anyone who has gone through, or is going through, something similar. —Teresa Decher (Writer/Producer/Actress) STILL HERE - Electronic Press Kit CAST TERESA DECHER KEVIN JOY MICHELLE ORTIZ -INTRUDER (IFC) -THE MIDDLE (ABC) -MAD TV (THE CW) -CABIN FEVER (IFC) -WRONG SWIPE (LIFETIME) -NICKY, RICKY, DICKY, AND -THE CLIENT LIST (LIFETIME) -GRIMM (NBC) DAWN (NICKELODEON) -YES PLEASE COMEDY -CASTLE (ABC) -FAMELESS (TRUTV) STILL HERE - Electronic Press Kit CREATIVE TEAM KHOLI HICKS | Director Mentored by veteran DGA Members with extensive experience, Kholi began in the cinematography field, shooting low to medium budgeted short films and EPKs.
